It appears that we're in a no decision state. We put the modules that
were totally non-controversial and non-problematic into the 2.13.90
release. That means that libnotify/notification-daemon weren't in (is
it okay to pull in libsexy despite not being mentioned previously?
should this be an officially blessed external dependency?), and
neither was gnome-power-manager.
We really need to get this resolved. Should we schedule an irc
meeting for us all to talk about it, or can we get everyone to respond
over email?
Thanks for contacting Davyd and George. :)
